The services fuel the digital transformation for numerous industries, including retail, hospitality and healthcare.

Syniverse is a leader in global connectivity services and internet of things (IoT) platforms.

CloudMinds is creating advanced AI services in the cloud to advance its mission to Make Robots SmarterTM. The joint solution combines Syniverse Mobile Connectivity Services and CloudMinds’ AI and robotics services to create new solutions for enterprises worldwide.

Syniverse has obtained a global subscriber identity module (SIM) to offer its Syniverse Secure Global Access network to enterprises, providing them global connectivity for their IoT devices. CloudMinds provides cloud-based AI and robotic solutions, including the CloudMinds XR-1, the first humanoid service robot with vision-guided precision grasping and manipulation capabilities, powered by the constantly evolving human augmented robot intelligence (HARIX) platform over 5G networks. The XR-1 can serve as a concierge, receptionist, business guide, elderly care, or VIP service staff under different scenarios with NLP, task-driven conversation, and vision controlled robotic manipulation.

Bill Huang, founder and CEO of CloudMinds Technology, said: “The two core building blocks powering our service robot XR-1, the Smart Compliant Actuator and the HARIX cloud platform, help break the bottleneck in commercially deploying humanoid service robots. Our partnership with Syniverse enables the global deployment of cloud AI robotic services at scale.”
